I am planning on dedicated brake fluid reservoirs and running two brake lines into the footbox. On the upper right rear of the footbox there is an inch or so diameter pipe ... I plan to run the two brake lines thru this into the master cylinders...is there any reason i shouldn't or some purpose down the line I am not aware of?

That hole is for the clutch cable, if you are running a mechanical clutch with a cable. If you are going with a hydraulic setup, you'll be fine.

I believe the mechanical clutch entry is on the left rear of footbox since it lines up with the mechanical clutch and the clutch cable spacer tube is also in that area, the area I am asking about is on the far right as you view the rear of the footbox

That hole on the right is for the clutch cable............really. The roadster kit is still set up to accept the donor pedal box and that puts the clutch cable hole on the right. Just like the big hole next to it is setup for the donor master cylinder to bolt too. Again, if you aren't running a mechanical clutch and cable you should be fine.

As Frank said that hole is used for the clutch cable when running a donor pedal box however you have a Wilwood box (obviously, 'cause if you didn't you wouldn't be bringing the lines through the front bulkhead ;) ). It will be unused in your configuration. BTW, a Wilwood mechanical cable type setup also leaves that hole unused since the cable goes through on the opposite side with that arrangement.

Appreciate your input, I never considered that it was for the donor clutch setup!
